Would really like to knock one down this year. Well I mean one that I get to keep and tan. ;) So what works for calling them in? How about baiting? Is it legal to stake a goat or chickens to the ground in the woods for live bait?
-
As far as I know a goat is legal. Other cougar calls (the mating calls) are supposed to be the most effective for getting a tom. Cow elk calls and deer fawn calls are good for any cougar. Another thing that works for some is to find a fresh kill and then use a coyote call, they will come to chase off the coyote.

It's legal to bait lions, but I believe you'd be waisting your time with a live goat or live anything. I don't think it would be worth your trouble or very effective. As far as calls I would contact Rainshadow1, he has cutting edge lion sounds that do work.

I don't cougar hunt bit I have always been told to talk to rainshadow1 for sounds and that the best cougar bait is their own kill.
-
I used a foxpro caller with one of rainshadow1's calls and a fawn in distress call to call in and take a large male. Also used a little decoy that wiggles and the cat was focused on that as he came in. The story was posted here in Feb '10 The most thrilling hunt I have ever been on. Can't wait for this season to get here.
